TIE-SUPPORT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 5, 1915.

Application filed January 26, 1914. Serial No. 814,421.

[o all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN GiLi-IEENEY, of the village of Newton Robinson, in the county of Simcoe, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tie-Supports,

' of which the .following is the specification.

My invention relates to improvements in tie supports and the object ofthe invention is to devise a simple device for connecting the tie to the collar when passing it around the collar for forming the usual tie knot and such means as will be hidden by the tie when in position and it consists essentially of a stud portion comprising a base and a central shank having a slot therein, a loop member provided with a vertical stem designed to fit into the slot, the tie being designed to pass over the top of the loop to the rear and then forwardly through the loop as hereinafter more particularly explained by the following specification.

Figure 1, is a perspective view of my device. Fig. 2, is a sectional view showing the tie in place. Figs. 3 and 4 are perspective views showing the parts forming my device separated. Fig. 5, is a perspective detail of the upper loop member showing the tie threaded therethrough. Fig. 6, is a sectional view showing an alternative construction. Fig. 7, is a perspective detail of the upper loop member shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 8. is a vertical section showing the parts shown in Fig. 6, separated.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each ligure.

A is the collar provided with the usual button hole A. B is the stud member comprising a base B and a shank B2 having a slot B3. The slot B3 is preferably formed with inclined sides.

C is the loop member provided with depending downwardly tapered shank C which lits into the slot of the shank B2.

D is the tie.

In placing the tie in position the portion C is separated from the shank. The tie passes over the top thereof and downwardly through the loop in an inclined direction so as to form a pair of depending ends D and D2. The shank C is then placed in the slotted stud, the taper of the shank tending to force the tie supporting member against the collar securely holding the stud in place.

In Figs. 6, 7 and `8, l have shown a supplemental loop portion E extending around the front of the tie from the sides of the loop member C so as to represent an ordinary tie ring.

`VVhat l claim as my invention is.

A tie support comprising a stud having a vertically slotted shank, a vertically looped member through which the tie is designed to be threaded, a stem depending from the loop member and tting into the slot of the shank, and a forwardly extending horizontal looped portion extending from the sides of the loop member and designed to extend in front of the tie threaded through such lpo member, as and for the purpose specie JOHN GILHEENEY.
